Relaxing Saturday…

from: quotesgram.com

This week I was so busy working I had no free time at all. This was the reason, to just relax on Saturday especially because my husband wasn’t at home because of working reasons. So I decided to have a relaxing day.

 

 

 

1. First I had a looong sleep
   For a sleep monkey like me it’s impossible to get enough sleep during a working week, so I enjoy it much more on saturday and sunday.
2. A cold shower
   There is nothing better as a cold shower to get awake after a long sleep.
3. A good coffee
   In the meanwhile this is kind of a ritual on a saturday morning, to go to a coffeehouse and get a proper coffee with my whole family. This is what I call quality time.
4. City tour
   Even if on saturday the city is full of people, it is a must to walk through the city, doing some shopping and enjoying the fresh air. Depending on my mood I also like to spend time at the local library and finde sone new stuff to read or to find some new cooking books.
5. Getting another bunch of sleep
   Sleeping is always a good idea. It doesn’t matter how much I sleep in the night. On saturday I need always another few hours of extra sleep.
6. Reading a good book
   This is something I have no time during workweek. So I enjoy it much more on the weekend.
7. Enjoying my balkony
   On summer days there is nothing better to enjoy the sun. On rainy and cold days I enjoy the fresh air, even if I have to wear enough clothes so I do not freeze.
8. Eating ice cream
   There is nothing more to say! Ice cream and TV in the evening are always a good idea.
9. Plan our next trip
   I love new adventures and to be on the road. So I never stop to plan the next trip despite where and how long the trip will be.

What do you do to relax and calm down from a hard working week?

Share Your Challenge – Sometimes I Need A New Start

As much as I love blogging, my life was quite busy the last few year. Ok sometimes it was busy sometimes I only enjoyed the time I had nothing to do. But after my husband has irregular working hours I decided to restart my little hobby. And even if it will be enough hard to start blogging on a regular basis, I decided to start blogging in english. So I hope you will be enough patient 😉

I’m not sure how often I can blog and if my english is good enough. But I would like to see it as a challenge for me to improve my english and to share a lot more experience with you!

What is your challenge which you have imposed on yourself? It would be pleasure for me to read your challenge!

The Most Beautiful Lake In Switzerland

Even if we return only I few weeks ago from our holiday in greece. My husband and I decided to go for a weekend in the alps. It was a quite spontaneous trip, so it came only to a decision on saturday morning, as my husband arrived from work. We packed a few things and started our trip even we hadn’t any reservation for a hotel.

Looking backwards it was the best decision in a while. Arriving in Flims we stopped at the first hotel and decided to stay for a night. Normally I search for hours befor I even think about to book a hotel. But the Hotel Chesa had such cute rooms, so the decision was quite easy for us.

Saturday we spend in the alps, because of the world heritage “Tektonikarena Sardona”. As much luck we had with the hotel as much bad luck we had with our hiking route. Even if the alps are wonderful it was such a pain to hiking down from Sardona back to Flims. So there is one big thing we learn after this tour: To never ever do a tour without to inform us befor we start. I had never such pain in my knees that I have to cry!

But at least sunday was such a beautiful day which we spend at the “Caumasee”. And once more I pushed myself to the limits which makes me feels specially proud. I had a swim in the lake even if the lake was freaking cold. But hell it was one of the most beautiful days and most refreshing swim since a very long while!

I love this days! #enjoingsummer #flims #caumasee #graubünden #switzerland #swisssummer

Frustrating Days At Home

Since I’m back at work life is really boring. The week is full of workouts, work and television time. So nothing exciting is happening. But what you do in your everyday’s life?
Meeting friends? Going out for a walk? Going for a dinner with your husband? But is that all we can expect from life? All this everyday’s boring things?

After I started this Blogpost nearly 6 months ago I started to write a Bucket List. I’ve never had a bucket list bevor, so we will see what will happen with this list:

• Travel
  • Safari in Africa and seeing Elefants
  • Hamburg
  • New York and do some shopping
  • German Ocean
  • Sailingtour
  • Camino de Santiago
  • Go to a meditation Hotel for at least one week
  • Travel with the Trans-Siberian railroad
  • Two-day hike
  • Seeing a glacier
  • Drive on Route 66
• Sport
  • Run a Marathon
  • Making a Iron Man
  • Scuba Diving
  • Starting skiing again
• Other
  • Start with meditation

What would be on your bucket list? What will you start do or see?

Desire To Achieve

Quelle: Brainy Quote

In der heutigen Zeit wo der Konkurrenzkampf überall immer grösser wird, ist es manchmal gar nicht so einfach, sich auf sich selbst zu fokussieren.

Eine weitere Lektion, die ich wohl noch lernen muss.
Mich wieder vermehrt auf mich selbst zu konzentireren und auf das, was ich erreichen möchte. Meine Träume und meine Ziele nicht aus den Augen verlieren und verwirklichen und nicht nur Dinge tun um besser als die Anderen zu sein.

Kennt Ihr das Problem, immer wieder von diesem Konkurenzkampf der überall gehegt und gepflegt wird, getrieben zu sein?

The Rules Of The Game

You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

Lange habe ich immer gedacht, dass Ehrlichkeit am längsten währt. Zwischenzeitlich habe ich verstanden, dass es bei der Arbeit viel mehr darauf ankommt, wie man die Wahrheit verpackt.

Negativität kommt nicht gut an. Und das wird wohl meine grösste Herausforderung sein. Die Dinge, welche in Projekte nicht gut laufen, als Tasks mit Verbesserungspotential darzustellen.
Es gibt nichts schlechtes, nur Dinge an denen man noch Arbeiten und Verbessern kann.

Do What You Can
